Stanford Time

Let's get started!

We are prepared and ready! We have finished up our Stanford practice and the “BIG TEST” will begin  Monday morning. We will continue to test  through Thursday. It will be very important to make sure your child has a stress free morning, gets to bed a little bit earlier, has a good breakfast, arrives on time, and brings a snack.

IIM

IIM, Independent Investigation Method is a process that actively

involves students in their own learning. It empowers them to acess information, and helps them to become independent, responsible, confident, excited researchers.  It is a seven step process that the students use throughout their years at Roberts. We have done both group and individual IIM research projects this year. We will be sharing these products with you at our portfolio picnic!
